//! Provides various methods with Geom2d and Geom curves and surfaces.
//! The methods of this class compute the parameter(s) of a given point on a
//! curve or a surface. To get the valid result the point must be located rather close 
//! to the curve (surface) or at least to allow getting unambiguous result
//! (do not put point at center of circle...),
//! but choice of "trust" distance between curve/surface and point is 
//! responcibility of user (parameter MaxDist).
//! Return FALSE if the point is beyond the MaxDist
//! limit or if computation fails.
